Journal Title: Horticultural Studies - Year 2016, Vol 33, Issue 1

Abstract

The leopard moth borer, Zeuzera pyrina L., is a one of the main pest which causes yield loses in pomegranate orchards. This study was conducted in Antalya province pomegranate orchards between 2011 and 2013. This study aimed to determine first adult flight date, the effectiveness of different types of traps, alternative biological products and combinations of pheromone traps and biological products. Delta type trap and dry funnel trap were assessed to determine the appropriate type of trap and delta type trap found to be more efficient than the other. Biological products, Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae were used for controlling of leopard moth borer and B. bassiana were found to be more effective. Efficiency of delta type pheromone trap and B. bassiana combination was found as 71.8 and 84.3% in 2012 and 2013 respectively.
